Natural Enemies Acquire More Prey Aphids from Hormone-Treated Insect-Attracting Plants by Xiaosheng Jiang, Xingrui Zhang, Guodong Han, Shovon Chandra Sarkar, Feng Ge

“…Exogenous plant hormones regulate the agronomic and physiological performance of plants and thus can influence the abundance of insect groups. We surveyed the arthropods on flowering plants <i>Cnidium monnieri</i> and found that the abundance of natural enemies <i>Propylaea japonica</i> and <i>Orius minutus</i> in the plots treated with salicylic acid (SA) and indole acetic acid (IAA) was significantly increased compared with those in the clean water (control) plots. …”
